for me its
-Food/drink in general
-sound quality from earphones or any sort of speakers
-cleanliness of the screen on tv

 

[Gamblerjoe]

-How I think people should drive
-Fighting technique
-Taking care of my stuff
-Intelligence

 

[LongAndShort]

A fair bit, actually, mostly behaviour related. But, for the sake of simplicity I am increasingly developing a higher standard of the beer I drink.

Sound quality, video quality, and shower cleanliness.

 

[Vampire cat]

The things I am most picky about:

1. Where I sleep... I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to beds and rooms to sleep in, and under what conditions... The softness, cuddlyness, lightlevel, soundlevel (and kind of sounds) needs to be right...

2. How I look, including the clothes I wear... I'll go mad if I cannot make myself look somewhat to my liking... In daily wear I prefer to wear some nice looking but slightly baggy jeans or cargo pants, and have my shirts, tops and sweathers follow the lines of my body nicely... I CANNOT STAND baggy torso wear or tight leg wear X3.

3. The people I socialize with. Though I could stand to mingle with people that are not of "high quality", it is very important to me to have someone to socialize with and I need daily human interaction on a personal level to avoid impaling myself on a fence post. *cough*

These, so much. I can't stand listening to music through poor quality headphones. And don't get me started on the internal speaker in the iPod Touch.

Fingerprints on touchscreens is another one. I find myself wiping down the screen every few seconds.

Beer

By the gods, how did I forget beer

I like your style.

I feel you on that one. I can't stand fingerprints on any kind of glass. I cringe any time I see someone needlessly touch glass with their bare hands.

Uh, thank you Oo. It's not like it's very refined, I'm just picky X3. I also like slightly geeky t-shirts and such but they are kinda hard to get a hold of in girl sizes, and the ones that are available in girl sizes are not very neat... There was an article about this on the Escapist a while ago actually and I found myself nodding and agreeing while reading it, but then I got to the comments complaining how stupid and pointless and whiny this article was and then I felt stupid for agreeing X3. I still do agree, but yeah...

Uh by size I of course mean I want the shirt to follow my body and guy shirts does not do that. Oo

Sound quality, I'm extremely picky when it comes to that, and it drives my friends crazy when I go on an earphone hunt.

Beer, it better be damn delicious or I will not be finishing it.

 

[Sir Rammington Steel]

Alcohol for starters. I can't stand light beer and the day I drink wine out of a box is the day I take my life. When it comes to liquor I'm not very picky though.

For food it depends on where I am. I don't have high standards so much as I want my money's worth. If I spend a few bucks on a cheap and greasy burger, I'm fine. But if I go to a nice restaurant and drop twenty eight dollars on some good fish I want it to be a damned experience.

I agree on the intelligence one. It's not exactly a requirement, but you won't hear me talking to you much if you can't hold your own in a conversation.

One I'll disagree on is clothes, I have very low standards for them. Sure, I like looking good and enjoy my nicer outfits, but in the end I'm just as at home in sweatpants and a t-shirt as a suit.

Lol, its kinda funny that anyone would complain about a thread on these forums being picky. I guess people only notice when the topic is non-geek culture related.

I definitely appreciate the girls that put a ton of work into their appearance, but there's just something endearing about a simple pair of baggy pants and a properly fitting t-shirt. I guess Im a man of many tastes. I have a couple of shirts that are that stretchy type of cotton that looks good on girls. They'd look better on me if I was a little more ripped (or a lot more ripped.)
